City-Inspired Baby Names for Jet-Setting Girls

These baby girl names inspired by travel destinations are adorable

One trend you may have noticed in baby names is to name children after destinations. London, Savannah or Brooklyn, perhaps? The Social Security Administration first noticed the trend in 2008, and city and state names remain in the top 1,000 baby names today.

Some parents name their baby after a city, state or country because it was a place they visited during their honeymoon, anniversary or another special trip. Some places have a historical or family tie they want to acknowledge. Other parents admit this special place is where the baby was actually conceived or maybe even born.

On your hunt for the perfect name for your baby girl, it's worth considering a name based on a destination — whether it's of special significance to you or you just like the sound or underlying meaning. Here are our favorite city and destination names for baby girls.

Also, take the "girl names" categorization with a grain of salt. Many if not all of these destination names would work great for babies of any gender. Brooklyn, Logan, Paris, Peyton and Dakota are just a few examples that any kid could rock.
